A Lao Memorial is a memorial in Cambodia to remember the people who died during the conflict in Laos between the communists and the non-communists. The memorial serves to remind everyone of the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in the struggle for freedom. The memorial includes a large statue of a soldier, a monument, several plaques, and a place to light incense sticks in memory of the deceased. The memorial is usually decorated with flags and sometimes there are wreath-laying ceremonies. People come to the memorial to pay their respects and to remember the heroes of the past.
